[Alex_197]

I see that some of the users who use Android 12 (SDK 31) and Android 13 (SDK 33) are gettig this error.

Here is an error details

At the same to no errors with Android 10 and Android 11. I don't have Android 12 or 13 phone so I can't reproduce this error.

My app uses Firebase for push messages and Crashlytics. Can it be related to this?

Just in case - here is my manifest

'This code will be applied to the manifest file during compilation.
'You do not need to modify it in most cases.

How can I see what is in this line - at anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common$11.run (Common.java:1184) ?

You already asked and I already told you. You can't but you don't need to. The stack trace shows you the reason for the problem.

Caused by android.app.ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException:

You seem to be starting a service when it is not allowed.
